X Factor star Cher Lloyd unrecognisable in glam transformation 12 years after ITV fame

Cher Lloyd shot to fame back in 2010 during the seventh series of The X Factor, but looks worlds away from the then-16-year-old that stepped on stage in front of the judges.

The singer, 29, put on a jaw-dropping display for her 2.5 million followers as she posed for an incredibly glam selfie uploaded on her Instagram.

The brunette bombshell was all smiles as she snapped a pic in front of a white wall, keeping things casual wearing a black turtle neck top.

The Swagger Jagger hitmaker penned a simple black heart emoji alongside the snap and it wasn’t long before her fans flocked to the comments to leave sweet messages.

“Beautiful as always,” gushed one user.

Another penned: “You’re beautiful” as someone else echoed: “Gorgeous woman.”

A fourth added: “So pretty,” while another begged: “Please tell me you’re coming back with a new single.”

Cher’s first X Factor audition is still hailed as one of the most memorable in the show’s history after she floored the judges with her unique rendition of Soulja Boy and Keri Hilson’s Turn My Swag On.

After finishing in fourth behind One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle, she signed to Simon Cowell’s label Syco Music and released her single Swagger Jagger which hit number one.

Despite having the potential for stardom, the musician has appeared to take a break from the spotlight in recent years and has focused more on her family.

Last year, she celebrated her eighth wedding anniversary with her hairdresser husband Craig Monk whom she married at 20 years old.

In 2018, Cher announced she had given birth to her first child with Craig – a daughter named Delilah-Rae.
